do you mean they would be hatching by then?
That is truely a miracle of life that development incould happen that fast!
She laid the first egg on Sept15 and sat tight from the 18th. So 26 days forward puts us about two weeks away from chick #1, if it's fertile

But she never leaves the nest for more than a minute.

Papa will have to be very clever in taking a peek without her freaking out and abandoning the nest

She made it VERY CLEAR that nobody touches her nest.

It's even worse for me cos she KNOWS I understand her instructions lol

Its not till you have a pair of nesting caiques in your living room 24/7 that you realise that the hen talks to the eggs all day
well, 'talks' is a bit mild - She SHOUTS at them LOL

While poor hubby sits quietly outside and pretends he hears nothing

Remind you of anyone?

Waiting patiently (sort of) for baby cake pictures.
So you have a peanut butter cake.
LOL yes. I didnt number the eggs so I dont know when the fertile ones are due to hatch. Good things are worth waiting for though

What I do know is one of them will be called Jaffa
Jaffa Cakes | McVitie's UK
